Flyers Double Up Caps, 6-3

Caps' four-game winning streak comes to a halt in a slovenly performance against the Flyers in Philadelphia on Sunday

Facing a Philadelphia team that played on Saturday night in Raleigh and had to travel home for a 5 p.m. Sunday face-off, the Capitals figured to have a bit of an advantage in terms of energy and rest. Other than traveling to Philly, Washington took Saturday off and it was in the City of Brotherly Love hours before the Flyers' game against the Hurricanes even started.

#CapsIsles Postgame Notebook: Six Pack Attack

A week after their scoring attack ran virtually dry in California, the Caps got well offensively at the expense of the New York Islanders. Washington scored 13 goals - two of them empty-netters - in just over 24 hours against the Isles, sweeping a set of back-to-backs from New York in convincing fashion.

After taking a 7-3 win over the Isles in Brooklyn on Thursday with six different goal scorers, lighting the lamp, the Caps again got goals from six different shooters on Friday in a 6-3 victory over the Islanders.

Caps Open up Six-Pack on Isles, 6-3

For the second time in as many nights, the Caps get six or more goals from six different sources in a multi-goal win over the Islanders

It's not easy to win games on back-to-back nights in the NHL, and it's harder to do so when the game is against the same opponent. But a night after handing the Islanders a 7-3 defeat at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the Caps doubled down and earned a 6-3 win over New York at Washington's Capital One Arena on Friday night.

#CapsIsles Postgame Notebook: Three Straight

Caps string together three straight wins for first time in more than two months, Oshie drought ends, career highs for a couple D-men, more

From the beginning of November through the middle of January, the Capitals won as many as three straight games on five separate occasions. But over the last couple of months, Washington had been unable to string together three straight victories at any point. The Caps rectified that situation on Thursday night in Brooklyn, taking a 7-3 win over the New York Islanders to earn that elusive third straight victory.

Caps Drop Isles, 7-3

After falling down early, the Caps' offense gets on track and helps Washington roll to a 7-3 win over the Isles in the front end of a home-and-home set

On its recent trip through California, the Caps probably played well enough to accrue more than the two points they came up with in three games, but Washington scored just two goals on that trip, empty-netter from Lars Eller notwithstanding.

At Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Thursday night, the Caps got a bit of a payback for that paucity of points out west. Although they didn't play as well as they're capable of playing, the Caps rolled to a 7-3 victory over the Islanders on Thursday in the front end of a home-and-home set of games between Washington and New York.
